Williams Chocolate Factory

Williams Chocoalte offers the finest chocolates all made fresh daily in our onsite factory.Made with only the finest Belgian chocolate and no preservatives

Williams Chocolate has been a family-owned business since 1985. The family was raised in Holland where owner, Willem was a pastry chef. Here, he learned the art of chocolate making. In 1983, Willem and his wife Anneke came to Canada to set up shop in the Durham Region. As Williams Chocolate became increasingly popular, a larger facility with the latest equipment was needed and they moved to Hopkin

s Street in Whitby, where they currently manufacture their unique chocolates. Williams Chocolate has sold chocolates to people around the world - shipped to friends and family as tasty gifts. At Williams Chocolate, we have gifts for every occasion and season.

THANK YOU 🥹
“ It takes a village “ and because of all of you we are grateful. Grateful for 40 years of holidays , family traditions and loyal customers. Without all of the support over the last years our family wouldn’t be where we are today.
As we prepare to hand over the keys to our special building we can’t help but think of all the highs and lows that got us here.
The tremendous support we have received lately , the kind comments and messages have exceeded anything we could have expected . Who would have thought the vision my parents had 40 years ago would become the amazing factory it is today! Although it remains a bittersweet time for us, it comes with a lot of content as we move on to the next chapter of our lives !
Our memories of Williams Chocolate and the people we met along the way will always remain special to us.
Thank you for choosing our family to be a part of your families, and for sharing our gift to those special to you for all these years 💕

-Angela and Family

Happy November 1st !!!!
1 final week …… some days I don’t think it has really set in for all of us here at the shop. One thing we all do feel is the love and appreciation we’ve received for our little chocolate shop!
Our machines have been unplugged , and the molds boxed up and put away , but our storefront is filled with holiday treats and Williams favorites !
The store will be open for one last Saturday from 10-4 and our final week hours will remain the same 9-5.
Thank you to everyone who kept their Christmas traditions this year by visiting us and stocking up!

Did you know that every ….. single ….. chocolate is individually hand placed in our boxes ! Needless to say we have packaged MANY chocolates over the last 40 years !!!!

Thank you to everyone that has come by the shop to stock up on their favorites and Christmas treats ! Our production has wrapped up but still lots of variety available!!

The number one question we get these days …… “ How long will the chocolate last ?”

Months ….. a year or more if stored correctly ! No fridge , no freezer just room temperature! Everyone has their preferences on how to enjoy, so if the fridge is your place that’s fine ! Just be careful what you keep it next too 😉.

We look forward to seeing you in our last 2 weeks and your words of appreciation have been touching to all of us here at the factory 🤍

*** UPDATE ***

The last few months have been a whirlwind for us here at the shop. To operate a business with many unknowns has had its ups and downs . As we continue to push ahead with the upcoming holidays we have had to remain guarded that things could happen at any time .

That being said we have had some serious developments happen in the last few days . Developments that will most likely affect our Christmas season . We have already started rolling out our Christmas items as a result of the unknown BUT with the latest developments we will begin suggesting you get your Christmas shopping lists prepared !!

We will continue to keep everyone updated as things push ahead and if the status of our sale becomes more firm you will be sure to hear an official announcement from Willem himself over the Durham radio stations regarding the retirement of our business .
We continue to make all the favorites and products daily and won’t stop until we’ve secured our future .
We thank everyone for their continued support of our family business and hope to see everyone over the next few weeks !

-Angela and the Williams team .
